Immortal Dark takes us into the secret world of Uxlay Academy, where humans and vampires live together. The story follows Kidan, a 19-year-old trying to find her missing twin sister while navigating life at the academy. She believes the academy to be behind her sister’s disappearance and has to live with her prime suspect, Susenyos the vampire, while working hard to pass her classes and inherit her family’s sentient house.
The lore of the story is one of my favourite parts. The world of Uxlay is interesting, and I really want to spend more time there. It’s exciting to know this is part of a trilogy because there’s so much more to explore. The university feels real, and the struggles of the students are relatable.
I enjoyed all of the characters, especially Taj and Iniko, and I hope to see more of them in the next books. Kidan, though, was frustrating at times. Her actions and reactions were very immature, but I guess that’s because of her grief and her age. At 19, her lack of experience really showed, but now that she’s learned a lot by the end of the book, I hope she grows in the sequels.
I loved the sentient house and I’m looking forward to learning more about it, especially after the ending.
The story had a few twists and turns that I saw coming, but they didn’t take away from my enjoyment. The book was very engaging, and I couldn’t put it down. A great start to a trilogy
